Nebraska Women’s Basketball Summer Update

After one of the worst seasons in program history and losing the best player in program history, this team is doomed, right? Not so fast….the eternal over-optimist gives you a summer rundown.

The 2016-17 Husker women’s basketball team suffered through one of the worst seasons in program history, finishing 7-22 and 3-13 in the Big Ten. It was a perfect storm as a new coaching staff, young team, most difficult schedule in school history, and a lack of chemistry/cohesion with the star player all combined for epic suckage. I constantly complained in the CN chat room about the fact that “This team should not be this bad.”

There are signs of hope as the late-season Huskers looked nothing like the early-season team that thrashed around on offense and relied on defense to keep games from getting too ugly (not always successfully). By the end of the season this squad was scaring, and sometimes upsetting, ranked teams as the confidence grew and the Williams culture took hold. They played with urgency, made better reads/passes, and got themselves into position for the shot. They also played some tenacious team defense (the Jackrabbit fan in me adores that part).

So, what happened over the summer? Here is your rundown:
